Thanks @Panky and @bazzateer = I called them and after much discussion purely because I am still playing with car mechanics terminology like a bumbling novice...we settled on the Hillman 45D. However need to get an answer on whether this is a top or side cap.

@jagger - Thank you for getting in touch. We don't have a pitch yet but this is purely because we were waiting on Piggy to get finished. However having stated that we've given ourselves a deadline of mid-June to get Piggy going. If he's still a WIP then we'll get going with the gazebo at the...

I called them and they did not even know what a Commer is!!! Helpful eh!! If the 45D is appropriate then I will speak with them again and look to make the purchase.

@bazzateer - thank you for suggestion on new dizzy, however upon a review of the Accuspark site I see there are a large number of electronic distributors to choose from. Is there a specific one that you can suggest which would be correct for Piggy. Thank you again.

Thank you Panky. You and I are on the same page. I have asked Gum at DS Preston to do just that. Am trying to get a hold of Tim (Commeracer) but he does not seem to be around. Would you have a number or alternative email for him please. Thank you.

HI Tim, Hope you are well. How much would it cost to get both a new fuel tank replacement along with a 6 speed gear box conversion?

Hi Panky, thank you for those details. I was looking at the Accuspark fuel pump on their website - http://www.accuspark.co.uk/fuel_pumps.html The current fuel pump fit on Piggy is a Facet; which is a Universal Electronic Fuel Pump. It is still in operational order but the decision is to replace...

@Panky - thanks for the suggestion. I am getting in touch with @commeracer (Tim) to get a new tank post this reply. @bazzateer - Agreed...all the work I am getting done is expensable against the business which I haven't even gotten going yet!!! HAHAHA!! Fingers crossed and god willing it will...

@bazzateer: Great news on Daily passing the MoT. Piggy passed his MoT too but seems to be failing on other levels. Several issues coming to light now: 1. The fuel tank needs cleaning or changing for that matter. Solution: to clean it and then air blow out the fuel line to clean it. 2. The fuel...

@bazzateer - Wow! small world eh! Indeed made some changes. Added power steering and a new gear shift is on the way. Makes driving her a complete joy. Not sure what you make of this but I converted her into a Food Truck. So its a complete change from what she was. I'll let everyone here know...

@ Baazteer - Peggy broke down 3 miles from the MOT centre. Fuel filter apparently was completely jammed. Needed changing. There are a few other niggles which are in the process of being sorted. The MOT looks to be a pass. Coolant had a leaky pipe and engine needs a general. Thank you for the...

Thanks Bazzateer, Just put in a call to them and taking it over this afternoon. Much appreciated... Cheers Sid

was that to me or Bruce?

Was your old Peggy's license plate PGY 955L

HI ALL, I'm looking for a good mechanic in west London that can look over my Commer Highwayman for an engine tune and an MOT. Does anyone know of one?? Urgently needed please!!! Cheers Sid

Hi Bruce, Guess you sold your Commer a while ago but I notice in the post that you had an MOT done for it. Do you know where you got that done? Just wanted to see if there was any mechanic you knew of that I go to for a quick engine tune and MOT. Cheers

We bought a Commer Highwayman toward the end of summer last year and its finally ready to be a food truck in London. Just some final touches with the addition of the power steering - LITESTEER - fitted on so that I still have working arms at the end of each drive! We hope to start trading on the...

Peggy is getting close to being finished and out for her first outing! Fingers crossed... god willing it all works in order

Hi Colin - Indeed things have come a long way now. Home stretch with the remaining works on our beloved Peggy to be done before we get on the road to start serving my wife's delicious fusion Indian dishes. So glad to hear that the Commer PB is being restored. I just was not in a position to...
